We’re proud to supply Bauformat Kitchens, known for their clean lines, advanced materials, and precision German engineering. Popular with Cornwall homeowners who value contemporary aesthetics, Bauformat’s handleless ranges include ultra-matt lacquer kitchens, stone and ceramic door fronts, and modular layouts for seamless, linear design.

Modern Kitchen Colours, Finishes and Textures
Today’s modern kitchens are defined by calm, cohesive colour palettes and tactile finishes. Popular modern tones include graphite grey, deep green, soft mushroom, cashmere, and white-on-white for a timeless look. Finishes range from super-matt lacquers and anti-fingerprint laminates, to stone-effect or ceramic surfaces that add natural depth.
We’re also seeing a strong demand for:
- Two-tone kitchens: often combining dark lower units with light uppers.
- Textured doors: replicating raw concrete, brushed steel, or woodgrain.
- Modern wood kitchens: which bring warmth and contrast when balanced with matt or gloss cabinetry.
Appliances for Modern Kitchens
Technology integration is central to the modern kitchen, and our kitchens are future-proofed with charging drawers, integrated lighting, and compatibility with smart home systems. At Torben Schmid Kitchens, we design around brands that perfectly complement contemporary kitchen aesthetics:
- Bora: downdraft extraction hobs with seamless integration and minimal noise.
- Miele and AEG: elegant, intuitive ovens, dishwashers, and fridge-freezers built for precision and energy efficiency.
- Quooker: instant boiling water taps with options for chilled and sparkling water too.
- RørosHetta: design-led extractor hoods that add a bold architectural edge.
Luxury Modern Worktops
Our modern kitchen worktop options include Dekton, Silestone, Corian, and premium laminates – each selected for their durability, modern look, and tactile appeal. These materials pair effortlessly with modern cabinetry and can be fabricated to include features like seamless upstands, flush-mounted hobs, and integrated drainer grooves for a polished aesthetic.
